ZyXELL Model: P871M on Telus turbo2 ?

Is anyone using a ZyXELL Model: P871M
with telus 25Mbs turbo2 vdsl2?

I need a straightforward modem rather than the double NAT imposed
by Telus's v100h.

I don't have that model rather a Zyxel P870MI1 V2 and it worked ok. I was able to bridge my Actiontec so I just use it. Same performance...

I seem to remember you have to be careful what vdsl profiles are supported and the p870 was good for Telus

Not sure if this helps.

The Zyxel P871M is not compatible with Telus' network. The modem does not support the right or fast enough profiles.

You need a modem that supports the annex 8b profile such as the P870H-51a V2. The P871M only supports annex 8a and 12a.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful replies.

Based on this I obtained a P-870M-1 v2.
It works just fine and right out of the box and exactly meets my needs. Thanks again for everyone's advice.

PS Without your replies I wouldn't have even known about the various vdsl2 profiles.

For the record: ZyLeX claims that the P-870M-1 v2 supports the following profiles:

8a,8b,8c,12a,12b , 17a and 30a.

Glad it's doing the job and yes the p870M1 v2 worked out of the box and cost me $20. For that price it was worth checking it out...
